Chorlton Central Church

Stephen Raw, a member of Chorlton Central Church, is the lettering consultant on the Royal Mint Design Advisory Committee and has had a hand in choosing these winning designs by Matthew Dent (chosen from 4000 competition entries) for the new 'definitive' coins.

'Jig-sawed' together, the coins make up the Royal standard. The other side shows the Queen's head as before.
